At  times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a  certain justice manifested within that cruelty. 

The alligator, one of the  oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the "apex predator",  can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and "survival of the pack  mentality" bred into the canines. 

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy  of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator  preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to  keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

Not  for the squeamish, but do it anyway!!!!!!

I am getting red x's.

If this is what I think it is, it's a bunch of puppies chewing on a stuffed gator, right?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
